It says racism is present everywhere, the question is not if racism took place, the question is how did racism manifest itself

The classic example is this:

Say you are a white clerk is working alone in a shop and two people walk in at the same time, one black and one white. According to Critical Race Theory:
  • If you help the white customer first you are racist because you value a white identity over a black one
  • If you help the black customer first you are racist because you didn't trust the black person to not steal something while you were helping the white customer, or you were just trying to make youself look good because you're a racist

It's a Kafka Trap and an extremely cynical and poisoned marxist world view that everyone is out for their own group and oppressing every other group. It's a diseased mindset with no redeeming qualities for humanity and also a circular firing squad because any group that finally vanquishes another group then becomes the oppressing group and subject to attack

I do believe our society has prejudices inherent in it. I believe these apply to race as well as women and atheists.

The short and long answer is... wait for it!!! ... no. (in conjunction with one of the various other "-phobes" or "-isms," of course.

You bet it is. And an obvious trigger. Time for a visit to the local autobody shop.

So I guess the thing to do is just stand back and give them both the middle finger. Better labeled as an anti-social misanthrope than labeled (I'm starting to shiver and quake as I write this) a... a... (tears are forming) a... a... a... (I'm getting the straight razor out and looking at my wrists) a... a... racist. (now having written the word, I'm despondent and about to guzzle a bottle of Drano)

Exactly, the now silenced majority needs to understand that they must abandon the urge for respectability, because the woke cultists in charge of corporate media and big tech will not grant respectability to anyone who refuses to join their cult.

Respectability is no longer attainable because the woke have taken control of society

Do not strive for their respect because they will never give it, just remember that their acceptance means nothing and actually worse than nothing it means you have compromised your values. The only solution is to live a values led life consisting of (1) TRUTH, (2) BEAUTY/EXCELLENCE, (3) RESPONSIBILITY, and (4) MERIT. Forget about the woke cult mob, they will eventually self destruct

It has become absurd, ridiculous and extremely fatiguing. Instead of responding to any legitimate questions or concerns, the libs now say that such inquiries are "racist" and refuse to say anything more.

Have we reached the point of peak liberal lunacy yet?
If you disagree or have a different opinion then theirs you are a racist, homophobic, transaphobic, veganphobic, mean person.

Are we doing the different opinion thing now? Do we recognize that people have different perspectives? Are we done with the "telling it like it is"?

What? Some are opinions and some are facts. A event happened, a fact, people say what they believe to have happened, opinion. Two are running against each other for a political position- fact. people choose sides because of they believe their pick would be better -opinion..

I am Asian and if a black man attacks me for no reason, I should blame white supremacy for the unprovoked attack.

Can I blame black supremacy if an Asian attacks me? Seems only logical.
